4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8c934e01a7ce685d98e970880f5941d79272c654 ] pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd() can return NULL, so the return value should be checked to prevent a NULL pointer dereference. Add the check and a warning when the PMD allocation fails.
